Points That Never Lose Their Interest For the |
Fair ser. |
The Philadelphia Ledger says: The first |
need for spring wear 10 what is called the be.
tween season (demi.saison) suit Either the
soft, light-colored checks or striped goods or |
the self.colored tweeds are used for this COS
tune. fAvorite style Of making this suit
is to have the overskirt arranged in fue flat
plaits taken bias and fastened on the left side
Of the belt This overskirt Is very long to al
low Of Its reaching the lower part of the skirt
where it turns up and forms shell trimming
on the back OF the hip. All the back and .
small part Of the left side fall In large straight
plaits A very tight fitting jacket opens over
q waist front 1t is rounded on the lower
part. The jacket Is In part OF plain velvet or
Of silk, matching the prominent color Of the
check. The hat for wear with this suit Is in
turban shape. 1t Is either Of felt, with q vel.
vet brim, or Of the suit material. The revival
Of the turban Is feature in spring millinery.
The suitable trimmings are Pompons, and
bow of Scotch plaid ribbon, with one side
plain and the other fancy
Suits composed OF plsds or narrow stripes
for the underskirt aud plain material in the
same shade for the drapery, will be even
more worn than last year Terra Gotta and
| fawn colors with wide plsids in the same
tone, mingled with q dead leaf shade, will
be united for walking suits Tight.ftting
| jackets showing oil the long spiral waist to
best advantage, will be worn with these
| suits.
Snowy suitings OF csmel's hair checked,
| or rather cross barred, for the white appears
| to be thrown out on the surface, are In china
| blues and white, red ard white, lavender and
| black or white, two shades Of gray, gray and
| black. Dark green and gray are extremely
stylish combinations, seen either in cashmere
| OF the two colors put together or in the com.
bination woven goods Brown and gray,
pink and gray, or two shades OF steel chosen
| for afternoon wear. Pretty stone and brown
costumes are made up together, the contrast
ing color making the mere outline by means
OF watered silk as trimming On the bodice.
q single diagonal revers across the front OF
the waist Is Of the silk, and cuffs are buttoned
up on the outside OF the arm. The woolen
skirt hangs in straight folds at the back, and
has row OF buttons on either side OF the
straight panel OF the ws.ered silk at the right
| The left forms winged drapery, hich leaves
| space for additional ornamentation by slash
| ings OF the silk II desired.
An elegant style tor spring wear consists
OF q soft long. haired, cloth skirt In pale pink,
i
| depth of a quarter OF yard at the bottom Of
the skirt in front, and showing Q repetition
OF the embroidery in q straight band up the
front OF the basque and upon the high collar
and cuffs. Thedrapery is long, and arranged
80 that 1t falls flat in a series OF graceful,
graduated folds upon one side. The work
| upon these costumes is done by hand, in beads
and chenille-in browns and greens upon
| fawns and cool stonecolored cloths
With some Of these are seen on imported
| gowns the very new waistcoats and cuffs
| with high collar, OF the creamy white inside
| (the wrong side) Of kid or dogskin. Turn q
new glove inside out and you have the pre-.
| else effect This Is in much better taste (aud
| scarcely more perishable) than the attempted
, | introduction OF kid and leather, with the
| finished side uppermost, for waistcoats and
harness or the saddle, prevented this kid
4 | trimming from becoming really fashionable
, The other side OF 1t, however, Is chsrmingly
| dainty and refined.
Soft white felt or ivory tinted turbans, oval
. or boat shaped, are brought out to wear with
r | these lovely cloth costumes, trimmed with an
aigrette matching the color Of the dress and
held in place by silver pins Pins, in fact
take the place OF stitches in millinery, and
( have long done 80, the difference being thai
Q | more Of them show, and they are made orns
, mental on purpose to show.
Black costu mes, worn expressly for Lent
are lightened little with silver, just a touch
| OF it. here and there, as a bonnet pin and
, | clasps tor the wrap, or buckle that lifts the
/ drAperles OF the dress.
Q Black tdilte frdncdise Is very fashionable
! for Lsnten gowns and for spring costume
purposea 1t Is trimmed with silver or jettec
| passementerie.
Dark blue camels hair serge, trimmed with
! | the new cream " hite silk gimps In Venetian
, arabesque designs, makes q stylish and be
| coming dress for the sesshore resorts at thii
| time OF year. Another favorite Is dark hello
trope or golden. brown Irish popliu, which
has the revers, panels, wsistcost, collar and
cuffs trimmed with fiat silk corG in bands

/ shade OF brown or heliotrope.
| Poplins for afternoon wear are appropriate

ings in the folds OF their grays and pale
browns
Satin ribbons as trimmings have BEEN dis

stripes on one hall, leaving the other solid
Narrow, solid ribbons will also be much used

that displays both It's fancy edges and fssteni
with bow on the left side. There was quit<
